River Damodar near Mujher mana village, after confluence of Tamla Nallah, at Haldia Downstream; Barakar at Asansol and the Rupnarayan at Geonkhali before confluence to River Ganga; Ramganga at Kannuj; and Gomti at Lucknow downstream are also not meeting the desired criteria.

River Patalganga at Shilphata; riverUlhas upstream Badlapur; Patalganga near intake of MIDC waterwaorks; Bhatsa at D/s of Pise Dam and Kalu at Atale village are not meeting the criteria due to higher level of BOD in these rivers.

The river Ghagger is grossly polluted at majority of monitoring locations such as at Ratanhedi D/s of Patiala Nadi; at Moonak; at Chandarpur Siphon; upstream of Sardulgarh and at downstream of Sardulgarh due to the discharge of municipal and industrial wastewater.

Among the 870 stations, 566 are on rivers, 55 on lakes, 10 on drains,12 on canals, 4 on tank, 3 on and creeks,2 on pond and 218 are groundwater stations (Fig.5.1).

The river Ghagger is grossly polluted at majority of monitoring locations such as at Ratanhedi D/s of Patiala Nadi, at D/s of confluence of with river Saraswati, at Moonak, upstream of Sardulgarh and at downstream of Sardulgarh downstream due to the discharge of municipal and industrial wastewater.

The western distributary of this river flows into the Vasai creek and the southern distributary flows into the Thane creek.

Water from the riversUlhas and Barbi is supplies to the industrial belt in the south and to New Mumbai.

Sand which is useful in the construction of houses is found in the bed of the Ulhasriver in the Thane creek.

These are the canes at the base of the Rajmachi fort.They are a group of 3-4 huge buddhist caves situated in the forest and not much frequented.They are a little above the banks of the river Ulhas.From Thakurwadi railway halt in the Karjat-Khandala section of the ghats,go down to riverUlhas.

In the monsoon, the Ulhasriver wil be difficult to cross.

Another approach is from Kalyan to Mhasa (via Murbad), andthen via villages, Ambetembe and Agashi, across the river to Baliware,Chinchwad and Bombad to reach the base by bus (22km).

Physicochemical characteristics of water of Karwan river, Agra, U.P, India, were studied at various sampling stations in the stretch of 15 Km towards upstream from its merger into Yamuna to assess the magnitude of pollution.

The parameters showed that the river was highly polluted at station Ill in all the seasons due to the discharge of domestic and industrial effluents into it.

The radionuclide concentrations in Periyar river at the industrial zone showed significant reduction, by factors ranging form 3 to 5 during the post1980 period as compared to pre1980 due to better effluent treatment practices adopted by industrial units situated on the river bank.

The lobe near the Columbia River is a result of discharges to ground during the operation of PUREX from 1956 to 1972.

For marine or river inputs, a longitudinal gradient in radionuclide concentration in the brackish zone is produced, with activity concentrations decreasing away from the end of the estuary which is the dominant source (Figure 5.8c).

River sediment discharge may be dominated by flood events with a low frequency of occurrence, e.g.

At 2:00 on Saturday afternoon, the final concrete was poured for the 2,309-meter-long, 185-meter-high main wall of the Three Gorges Dam, which by then began to have capacity of holding water.

The concrete placement of the Dam's main section was completed 10 months ahead of schedule, which will enable the Dam to start its role in power generation, flood control and shipping improvement in 2008, one year ahead of designated time.

This section of the Yangtze has a narrow river course which is inconvenient for shipping but boasts abundant hydroelectric resources.

I have enjoyed great peace of mind here and had the opportunity to watch birds and mangroves flourishing from my window.

Ulhasnagar residents face another 26/7(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)

Chauhan, a resident of Shanti Nagar, who lives on the banks of river Valduni, a tributary of riverUlhas which runs through the locality, says, “Last year’s floods completely washed away my house and my workshop.

My family and I survived the first couple of weeks because of the kind-hearted Ulhasnagar residents, who voluntarily provided us with food and other necessities on a regular basis.

More than the actual losses caused by the floods this year, my business has suffered because my clients are apprehensive about placing orders with me, since my workshop is so close to the river.

At Thane the river splits into two branches which flow west and south, respectively, around Salsette Island, on ehich lies the metropolis of Mumbai.

Thane Creek flows south to empty ibto Bombay Harbour.

The estuary of the Ulhas is the site of the gistorical ports of Kalyan, Kopri (Chersonesus/Coprostaneum) and Shurparaka (now Sopara).It also flows close to the suburbs of Badlapur.

While Ramesh Jadhav (Sena) wanted a more equitable distribution of available water resources, deputy mayor Uday Samel (Sena) wanted to find out why the administration was quiet about the fact that only two out of the 12 filtration and pumping units were working along the Ulhasriver from where water is provided to the KDMC.

KDMC commissioner Madhukar Kokate said, ``Due to low water level there was a problem,'' adding, ``on our instructions to the Barvi dam authorities excess water was released from the Ulhasriver and normal water supply has been resumed.'' However, it can happen again any time.

He pointed out that being at the tail end of a host of companies like the National Rayon Company, Century Rayon and others the KDMC always gets worst hit when the river levels dip.
